You could do an entire video about how the guy in the gray tucks his wrist during his downswing and unloads at bottom. This would be a lot more helpful than your singing bowling ball.
@@sriley064 Well Art of Bowling is mostly directed towars the younger generation, I am sure... Don't think they mean for people of 30+ age to enjoy the singing bowling ball :P But it's a nice twist to the standard videos of one guy talking in a monotone voice about how you should handle a bowling ball. Imagine showing that to children/teenagers compared to this video!
Shane Riley think you take offence a bit too easily fella 😂 smoke some weed or something. I agree though, the time spent wasted on the singing bowling ball could’ve been used more productively.
This is just superb, I've been looking for "how to choose a bowling ball at the alley" for a while now, and I think this has helped. Have you ever come across - Piylivern Remarkable Predominance - (just google it ) ? It is a good one of a kind product for discovering how to up your bowling game quickly without the normal expense. Ive heard some pretty good things about it and my friend got amazing success with it.
Agreed, I was thinking the same thing. I appreciate comedies but when I’m trying to learn something I’d prefer seriousness and informative over Revless Presley
Revless presley = less subscribers please take it seriously! You seem knowledgeable please take it seriously how should the fit be? You say fit is important but then say nothing else about it! Cmon dude be a coach!
I'd like the full version of Please Release me and Nothing But a House Ball by Revless Pressley uploaded on youtube or itunes. That would be great. (Legitimately Not being Sarcastic) Thanks for The advice/tips! Cheers from Canada!
Jr Raymond also teaches this and had me practice this at the clinic here in Vegas this past Sunday. Also Phil platko had me do one step drills with this and I stood right around the first arrow on the left side when doing it. My ball went into the pocket every time. Now just got to translate that into a full release
AB just showed everybody how it's done. The lefty in slow motion demonstrated the load and unload perfectly. If you can't see it watch slow motion bowling release on you tube it's like 13 minutes long.
I've tried this release , for some reason it put too much stress on my lower back causing spasms but the ball worked great for the one game + one frame I was able!!!!
I can’t follow how “snapping your wrist down” helps with control of it coming off your fingers at all, it seems the wrong forces are involved. Yes it will get it off your thumb quicker, but….
Everyone explains the yo yo completely wrong I am so frustrated with it. I try it and lose so much speed it’s terrible. Nobody tells you when are you supposed to bend the elbow? The timing of it I feel so jerky when I try it
I use a trainer soft ball ( weighted 1 to 3 lbs) to practice my release. Rolling the ball off the fingers as I toss it straight up and catch. Keep it up Art..
Arthur, I see that you promote release instruction counter to the info contained in Chapter 5 of “Bowling Beyond the Basics” subtitled “The Myth of the Unloaded Wrist, The Frisbee, and the Yo-Yo” Interesting. BTW, thanks for introducing me to that seminal work which dispels some traditionally accepted “myths”. I certainly enjoy your content.
Joshua Hill check out www.bowlu.com - Rick Benoite has many types of trainers! The release can be practiced with the brick and pin! The orb is for balance in motion! All this info was created by BowlU - really need to check it out!
I found for me to do that release if to focus on cuping the ball right before I let it go keeping a lose arm swing the whole time if you are decent at getting your thumb out of the ball before your fingers u will naturally uncup to let it go just focus on cupping right before the ball gets past your ankle
figer positions are good to work on to increase and decrease tilt and change ball rotation...rev rate comes from what our hand does to the ball...it is kind of like we have two rockets. one attached to the ball spinning it in forward roll the other one behind it propelling it forward
Hi I have a quesion... you said you have to " snap" your wrist when you release . I thought that you dont want to break (bend backward) your wrist when bowling? I'm a little confused.
I cant get hook down. I wonder if it's my ball because I have a proper release and my ball does the motion going down the lane that should make it hook, but it just goes straight while spinning in the motion. So my question is, does the coverstock really matter that much or is it my release
Another informative video. I had the pleasure of bowling next to you at the USBC Tournament at Jibs. And saw you in passing at a UBA match at Fun Feast. I promise to say hello the next time I see you.
A yo-yo is released with a backward arm action and on the downswing of the wrist. The bowling ball arm and hand is going forward. Two apparently opposite directions. What am I missing in order to apply the yo-yo swing and release to bowling?
Do the USBC rules allow throwing a bowling ball that has no holes? It works well for my league for spares but I have been unable to find out if it is legal in tournaments.
I know this is old. But seems unanswered. You don’t have to have holes. But the ball must be marked in some way to show your hand orientation. So have to put your hand in the same place every release, for the same reason a bowler with holes has to use the holes. I don’t necessarily agree with it. But I think that as a ambidextrous person I should be allow to shoot 10 pins left handed and 7 pins right handed. It’s not an unnatural ability and anyone could train to do it.
No I never have although I did take my silver class from Stephen Padilla. I aslo attened the world bowling coach conference with many of the people involved with Bowl U.
Might be that your thumb hole is too big, and you are gripping the ball. The key is to free your hand of any gripping force. Completely relaxed. Then you'll be able to get it out super fast. If your ball falls out of your hand, use bowling tape to stop it. I'm in a very humid place, so in my case is the opposite. My thumb tends to get stuck, so I started using Storm protecting tape and works like magic. Highly recommended if you have that kind of issues.
Couple things: Your left handed bowler is bending the heck out of his elbow at 3:50 and probably doing so to be able to get hand under ball at release point. This video seems to assume a bowler may be able to cup their wrist into the release point to keep hand under ball, but they may not be able to do so with a straightened elbow.
@@ArtOfBowling Thank you, I figured out that it was i was trying to keep my wrist cupped with a straight arm and no elbow bend, the index finger thing helped a lot too!
I once heard a saying that practice doesn't make perfect practice makes permanent. You may be using the tools improperly or ultimately not translating what you are practicing to the ball.
Do you do one on one training ? Where are you from? I’d love to come to where you are for a weekend. I’m in need of desperate help with my physical game
Depending on the house as high as 220's Into the 2teens as I get older it drops. After 6 months of no bowling I am at 206 to 215 curently in the three leagues I bowl in. My UBA average last year was 227 in 9 events bowled.
Having bowled in league for 40 years this is my theory of hooking - you buy hook in the pro shop and then all you have to do is roll it in the right direction with the right speed. In the old days balls barely hooked and you had to stand on the right and throw it towards the pocket. If you pulled it and crossed over you could leave the dreaded spare, the 1-3-6-8-10, which never happens today. Now balls have an offset weight block that forces the ball to hook when it rolls. Now instead of throwing the ball leftward, we throw the ball to the right or straight and watch it turn left. You don't have to do anything fancy like wrist snapping. All you have to do is get yourself a fingertip drilled bowling ball (not an alley ball), keep your hand behind the ball, don't break your wrist (knuckles not behind forearm), and don't walk too fast, that will get you sufficient dependable hook.
@@trojanword107 More like someone who stopped bowling forty years ago. I'm old enough to remember the old days (I'm 70) and since I picked up the game again some years back, I've had to relearn a lot of stuff. If it was as easy as the good doctor implies, we'd all be on the tour, but even with higher league averages these days, few of us are.
@@trojanword107 and the response I would expect from someone that throws resin equipment. Reasonable sure your skill set came right out of a box, but in your defense the ball company's love you.
House bowling balls hook and roll easier than the finger tip gripped balls by far. In fact, a simple exercise that gets a bowler to clear thumb is a one step drill using house conventional grip ball. The ball will only hook and roll when the bowler relaxes the grip putting thumb then fingers letting go of the ball.
